It's always gonna be a conundrum with Peter Parker.

Fans mad Marvel deaded the marriage/baby and stunted his natural evolution as a father/husband Fans mad Marvel progressed his naturally evolution into a genius millionaire inventor/scientist using his inventions and cash flow for the greater good.

And yea, there were some at the start of ANAD who didn't like that Peter used his glorified Reed Richards-lite intellect to finally level up in life and be more than the hard on his luck broke teacher/photographer/whatever going on 30 years old. Which is fine if u want to see him married with kid but still broke, but that selective growth wasn't lost on me. I personally find both (wife/kid + big career) to be logical if not now (given his age) then very soon.

That said, I also understand that he forever 'can't' progress in either direction for more than a few years, let alone in both bc Marvel wants to keep him 'young' forever.

What they did to the marriage was criminal and probably the most disgraceful thing to happen to the Spidey franchise

It sucked but the clone saga was worse. It told readers this guy you’ve been reading about for 20 years isn’t the real Spider-Man but a clone. This guy is actually the real Spider-Man. So all these stories you invested in were just fairy dust. That’s worse.

Anybody check out Detective Comics #988?
I liked it a lot because we finally have a Batman as a detective story in the book where we are supposed to be getting detective stories.

Yeah that what I starting to hate about peter is that they write him like he in his teens even tho he in his mid to late twenties.

I agree except accounting for "Marvel Time," he's definitely gotta be in his 30s at this point.

The problem is that Peter is considered to the "teen superhero" even though he's been an adult for most of his history in publication. He graduated from high school during the Lee/Ditko years and outside of "Ultimate" and the odd one-shot or cartoon, he's been an adult dealing with adult problems ever since. The fact that he's been at it this long and is still a monumental fukk up actually hurts him in my eyes because it's tiring watching this dude fall down on his luck then go whine about it on a rooftop. Especially when this man has connects to some of the most powerful men and women on the planet. You telling me Tony Stark or Reed Richards or T'Challa - to name a few - can't hook mans with a steady gig? They could even do it on the low so as to not hurt his pride.

They constantly reset Peter to this status quo of "early 20 something fresh out of college" and it's wack at this point.

Vampire Storm dead

Thor Storm no longer Thor

3 other Jeans running around

Psylock not asian


Sounds pretty cohesive to me

So Storm lost her armor and weapon she gained like 10 issues ago?

Also we got O5 jean and newly ressurected Jean,which other ones are there?

X-men is confusing as fukk. We got alternate universe Cables killing each other.

He needs to stick to his X-Factor costume, that was his one and only good uniform.

The X-Men line need a “Heroes Reborn” type reset. Just take all tha confusing crap n just throw it in da bushes n take it back to tha essence. Like Kurt Busiek did with tha Avengers.

Coates spent an entire 12 issue arc of BP wasting our time about how Storm is a goddess because of "worship", only for the X-Men Gold writer to shyt on that entire concept in 2 issues by having some made up African god tell Storm worship ain't shyt and bytch u better use that god hammer if u want to beat me... which she had to do, before losing it and her godhood.

These black writers finna learn to stop using Storm one of these days... That Hudlin stuff is cute but it ain't never gonna work, time and again
